Microsoft Office 2010

Microsoft has spoken, so it is written. The next Mac version of Microsoft Office is to be released in late 2010, and it will replace Entourage with Outlook. What’s the point in this switch? Outlook is expected to have more support for Exchange features which does matter if you work in one of the thousands of businesses that uses Exchange. It’s great that Microsoft concerns itself with petty Mac users, but does this have anything to do with the announcement that Mail will have Exchange support in Snow Leopard? Ironic, don’t you think?

Other news is there will be Visual Basic support and a new “business addition” of Office. Along with that, there are rumors that Microsoft’s new partnership with Nokia might be leading to a version of Microsoft Office for mobile phones. Microsoft refuses to share any juicy details but only time will tell what they have in store. I don’t know, but if the Zune HD sells well, maybe we’ll be looking at a Zune Mobile.
